Examiner comment
Band 3.5
The test taker attempts to address the task, but not all the key features are covered (there is no
reference to the ‘walking and bus’ category). The response is also significantly under-length. The
Task Achievement rating is affected by these deficiencies. Information is presented, but it is
difficult to identify organisation and there is no clear progression within the response. There are
some cohesive devices but these are not always used accurately. The range of vocabulary is
basic and tends to be used repetitively. There is limited control over spelling, and errors are
noticeable throughout. A limited range of sentence forms is used and although some structures
are produced accurately, errors are frequent.
